Lighting the path or blinding?

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.  ~James Thurber


I stumbled across this quote while doing a search for inspirational writings tonight. 


This is a thought some of us can relate to. Being the representation of THE LIGHT, sometimes our passion can blind people. I know this one for sure!




Christ came to illuminate the path to the Father for the world. Sometimes we think we are bringing light..we can stand in front of HIM! 


P.s This was not supposed to be a heavy post. It's just proof we are His! He is the sun and we are the moon. We reflect his light in the darkness.

Safety?

 Do you pray that everything goes as you planned or even that you have a "safe" trip??
I'm not saying that praying for protection is bad, but some of us are obsessed with safety. There are many stories of brothers and sisters that depended completely on Christ. Many were put though dangers so deadly that it looked bleak for them many times. 


For my life... It's a lack of faith. I tend to think my view of life is how God thinks. LOL! It's like a pot telling the master potter that he made a mistake. He knows what you are to look like. Most likely not how you want to  look.  God told Jeremiah that "For I know the plans I have for you,they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."


God's will is better than being safe in ourselves.  What may seem like a bad thing can bring great things! He covers us with his wings. 


Do you believe this? I want to. 


Tomorrow is another day. His will be done!
